I'm 19, I've taken the year off from my Bachelor of Engineering course due to mental overload, and I feel I'm going insane. I've always had social problems as a child, and the school counsellor suspected Asperger's and depression. Last year, I saw the doctor and took Zoloft for 6 months. I've taken my last repeat about 5-10 months ago. Now, I'm experiencing a serious decline in mental function, as though I've got dementia or brain damage or something. 4 years ago, this all began. I used to be good at school, but for the last few years, my grades went downhill. In my first year of university (2005), I failed miserably, but back then, my mental decline was steady. Now, it's exponential... It's taking me a great deal of effort to write this. Although I am confident with my spelling and grammar, I feel that my sentences are awkwardly expressed. I'm also forgetting things that I used to know. I've had a CT scan and brain tumor is ruled out, so what the hell is wrong with me?
